My personal favourite lines of poetry are from the end of Tennyson's Ulysses;<br /><br />It may be that the gulfs will wash us down;<br />It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,<br />And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.<br />Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'<br />We are not now that strength which in old days<br />Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,--<br />One equal temper of heroic hearts,<br />Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will<br />To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.<br /><br />Love you so much<br />xxxxxxFab 2https://www.blogger.com/profile/16234275583802212828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903745305717203364.post-59268530616858859122009-10-29T06:33:50.392-04:002009-10-29T06:33:50.392-04:00Your last paragraph was very poetic, lovely.

Very interested in the Chinese rhyming idea! never thought that way. <br /><br />Here's something to analyse -<br /><br />Copper top pop tart,<br />carries her toys<br />in a suitcase on trains.<br /><br />Bearly dragging teddy in tow<br />She’s shading her eyes<br />against the glow<br />of a runaway <br />tunnelling locomotive.<br /><br />And yet, at five and a half,<br />her thoughts are yet to ripen,<br />her memories yet to peel till…<br /><br />loving your posts, but shamefully slow to leave messages. love winWinstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05573697084473370124noreply@blogger.com
